homeownership

Sunday morning I woke up to this sight. An entire tree top, about 20-25ft long, had come down and blocked both garage doors. I borrowed a saw from the neighbors across the street (thank you) and ended up spending most of Sunday sawing this treetop into pieces and dragging those pieces off the driveway. Luckily the damage to the roof was absolutely minimal.

Earlier this week I got two more shelves to finish the book shelf. Turns out the cat likes it too - he has found a hiding (and sleeping) spot in one of the boxes under the lowest shelf. Also, I have about 140" (3.5 meters) of empty book shelf space now. A handful of books should be on their way from Amazon soon...

I like books. I really like books. In fact, I was unable to find a bookcase large enough to fit all of my books. Last night I finally got around to just building my own book shelves, screwing vertical rails onto the wooden studs behind the drywall and attaching shelves to those rails. Unfortunately the store only had four shelves left in the same color as my desk. I left enough vertical space to add two more shelves later, since I suspect I'll need it at some point...
